Broadus Foster, white, was arrested at Burlington on Sunday night for larceny of an automobile from the Central Motor Co., at Norlina, and brought before magistrate J.C. Hardy on Monday night. Foster, accompanied by his wife and child, came through here about 10 days ago, traveling from ev erett, Mass., to Gafney, S.C. His car had been giving much trouble and they wer out of funds. He offered the car to several persons but finally sold it to the Central Motor co. for $25 with the privilege of redeeming it by September 8th.
On Sunday Foster, accompanied by his father and his brother, returned to Norlina and asked for P.E. Brauer, manager of the garage, but not finding him went to the hotel and got the garage key and took out the car and left.
About two hours later Brauer missed the car and telephoned to various places finally locating the man and car at Burlington. Brauer and Chief Carter went after the man and car Monday.
Upon hearing the evidence on Monday night, Justice Hardy had the warrant changed from larceny to trespass and upon payment of the cost, judgment was suspended.
